Whether there will be a Meeting of

Increase the Duties on Corn
Press.l
BERLIN, Sept. 10.-The Emperor and EN-
press will leave Babeisburg Monday and
will arrive at Stettin at 80 O'Clock in the
afternoon. They will remain there until
Saturday. The programme of the weeks
proceedings, published yesterday, has been
eagerly scanned to see if there is any
chance of visit from the Gar Mill
tary manoeuvres and social entertainments
will fill every day, except Thursday, for
which day the Emperor's only engag cement
is an official dinner There is no indication
that a meeting of the Emperors is intended
Was il ever proiected2 is the question now
discussed. The NelU Free Press, North
German Gazette and other official papers
seek to discredit the idea that any
preparations were made to receive the Car,
but they cannot deny the fact that the Stet-
tin authorities were warned to prepare for
the reception of great foreign parsonage
who was popularity supposed to be the
Gear.
AN INTERVIEW LOOKED FOR.
That an interview was expected to take
place between Emperor William and the
Car is beyond doubt, and it's abandonment
is attributed in the highest circles TO infiu-
enceS hostile to Germany, which were
brought to bear on the Gar after his
arrival at Copenhagen. Prince Bismarck,
finding that the Gar hesitated whether to
meet Emperor William, decided TO
show no Solicitude about the
matter and seized the occasion of
the Emperor's accident and his abandon
ment of the Konigsburg journey to intimate
adoubt whether the Emperor would be able
TO go to Stettin and that the projected in
uerview must drop. The press and all par
ties concur in saying that Prince Bismarck
went far enough toward humoring Russia.
THE ALLIANCE WITH AUSTRIA.
The North German Gazette hints that the
approaches made to Prince Bismarck, while
he was at KiSsingen, if met as the Gar de-
sired, would have drawn Germany into a
policy hostile to the Austrian alliance.
The Vossische ZeitUeg states that Prince
Bismarck favored the policy of Russia as
far as his friendship toward Austria per-
mitted, but this did not satisfy the Car,
nor has it finally tended to more friendly
relations between Germany and Russia.
What the Gar desired was active mediation
of Germany in the Bulgarian question,
Prince Bismarck to take the initiative and
propose European intervention under the
shadow of the Berlin treaty to promote a
settlement satisfactory to Russia. Prince
Bismarck's absolute refusal to either assume
the initiative or to give Russia any advice
regarding Bulgaria, disappointed and irri-
tateCf the Gar, whose position is now rather
worse than before an entente appeared
probable Instead of supporting, Prince
Bisrnack now appears inclined to thwart
Russian policy.
ONE OF THE INDICATIONS.
A significant Indication of his changed
diplomacy is found in Germany's answer to
the Portes note regarding Gen. Ernroth's
mission, which declares necessity to regu-
late the Bulgarian question in strict con-
formity with the Berlin treaty, meaning
that Gen. Ernroth must not go tosBulgaria,
or Russia interfere in any way without
the sanction of the powers.
Prince Bismarck went to Babelsburg yes
terday and had a long conference with the
Emperor. He will return to Friedrichsrahe
Friday where he will receive Count Kal-
noky, the Austrian Prime Minister. The
following week he will visit the Austrian
statesman, and SO set at rest the rumors of
any tendency toward a departure from his
friendly policy in relation to Austria.
In official circles it is believed that Prince
Bismarck has finally decided to present
bill in the Reichstag increasing the duties
on corn Party demands, supported by
country, will force the government TO in
troduce the bill, though it is certain to
hamper the negotiations for treaty of
commerce with Austria, and lead to further
protective measures in favor of other than
agrarian interests.
CATHOLIC RIGHTS.
The coming session will, it is threatened,
be made lively by a renewal of the activity
In the Centre party in favor of an extension
of Catholic rights. Herr Windthorst,
armed with a mandate from the Treves
Congress, will introduce bill vesting direc-
ton of Catholic schools and their entire
control in the clergy. This movement on
the part Of the Clericals is a direct
breach of tine compact between Prince
Bismarck and the Vatican, under
which the kukturkamp ceased. The inter-
vention of the Pope may be invoked to iniiu-
ence Herr Windthorst TO drop the project,
but the temper of the leaders of the Centre
party will not brook further submission to
the behest of the Vatican, and the bill is
certain to be pushed and backed by the
whole power of the clericals of Germany.
Not a single step towards a concession
will be taken by the government,
and Herr Windthorst's action will be
resented by Prince Bismarck anu
fiercely opposed by majority of the House
The short truce between the Catholic church
and State will soon terminate, forecasting
inevitable developments. The programme OF
the Centre party which, it is certain is
speedily extending beyond school control,
will embrace complete suppression OF the
veto of the State on ecclesiastical nomina-
hons, the return of the Jesuits and the res
htution TO the church of the administration
Of all charitable institutions now super
SlEsd by the State.
BRITAIN UP TO SNUFF.
Great Britain has just concluded treaty
with the King of the Tonga Islands, under
which that monarch will cede nothing TO a
foreign power without the assent of Eng
land. The treaty is an unpleasant surprise
TO Germany, as the Tonga Islands have
been considered promising field for Ger
man enterprise.
The Td9blott, referring to the Samoa
affair, asserts that it was known here for
long time that King Malietoa has been
secretly instigated by tho American Consul
to Dust the German proprietors of planta-
tons.
The VoSsische Zeitung maintains that
the sole object of Germanys action was 10
punish King Malietoa for the robherles per
petrated against German colonists. The
treaty with EN;land and America will be
maintained, but King Malietoa VIII not Do
restored
The French mobiliIng experiment Is
watched closely, and finds general approval
among (tertnau military critics who admit
